The USPSTF recently released a draft recommendation statement on vitamin D supplementation, with or without calcium, to prevent fractures and falls in community-dwelling postmenopausal women and men aged 60 and older. The recommendation concluded that vitamin D supplementation did not prevent falls or fractures in older adults and indicated potential harms, including an increased risk of kidney stones. The draft recommendation and evidence review are open for public comment through January 21, 2025.
